WHERE BIRDS THRIVE, PEOPLE PROSPER
In 2018 Audubon Texas and Texas Parks & Wildlife launched Bird City Texas, a community-focused certification program to help protect bird and their habitats where we live, work, and play. The certification categories are designed to be efficient as well as measurably effective against habitat loss and other harmful factors impacting birds.
The Bird City science-based bird conservation initiatives PLUS community-centric action will:
- Enhance and Restore habitats
- Increase native plant coverage in Texas for the benefit of birds & people
- Reduce population-level threats
- Increase public awareness of the benefits & challenges of bird conservation
- Promote environmental stewardship in Kerrville
Certified Communities have been able to leverage their certification to attract more than 2.2 million bird watchers in Texas in 2022.
